Trigger Finger Pain? Discover Relief with SoftWave Therapy in Charleston, SC

What Is Trigger Finger?

Trigger finger, also called stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition that affects the flexor tendons in the fingers or thumb. These tendons pass through protective tunnels (sheaths) as they move. When inflammation, irritation, or swelling narrows the sheath or causes nodules to form on the tendon, it becomes difficult for the tendon to glide smoothly—leading to:

• Clicking or popping when moving the finger

• Pain or tenderness at the base of the affected finger

• Stiffness, especially in the morning

• Locking or catching of the finger in a bent position

• Difficulty straightening the finger without using the other hand

Trigger finger most commonly affects the thumb, ring finger, or middle finger, and can affect more than one finger at a time.

Common Causes and Risk Factors

• Repetitive gripping or overuse (e.g., tools, racquets, instruments)

• Inflammation of the tendons from arthritis or metabolic disorders

• Occupations or hobbies involving forceful hand movements

• Diabetes or thyroid conditions

• Gender (more common in women)

• Age (typically between 40–60 years old)

Traditional Treatment Options—and Their Limitations

Conventional approaches to treating trigger finger often include:

• Splinting

• NSAIDs or oral anti-inflammatory medications

• Corticosteroid injections

• Surgical release of the tendon sheath

While these treatments may offer temporary relief, they don’t address the root causes of tendon dysfunction or inflammation. Surgery carries risks, potential scarring, and downtime. Many patients are now looking for non-invasive, regenerative options that actually heal the damaged tissues.

How SoftWave Therapy Helps Heal Trigger Finger Naturally

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that delivers electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to the affected area. These waves travel deep into the tissues, stimulating your body’s own healing and regenerative processes.

SoftWave Therapy Works by:

• Reducing inflammation at the tendon and sheath by modulating cellular inflammation pathways

• Breaking down fibrous nodules and adhesions that prevent tendon gliding

• Stimulating blood flow and angiogenesis to nourish the tendon and improve healing

• Activating and recruiting stem cells to regenerate tendon tissue and promote remodeling

• Improving tendon elasticity and function, reducing stiffness and snapping

SoftWave initiates mechanotransduction, a process where cells sense mechanical energy and convert it into healing biochemical responses—making it an ideal therapy for tendinopathies like trigger finger.

• Less snapping, clicking, or catching during movement

• Restoration of grip strength and daily hand function

What to Expect from Your Care Plan

Dr. Jeremiah creates a personalized plan based on your condition, severity, and goals. Most care plans for trigger finger include:

• 6 to 8 weekly sessions on average of SoftWave Therapy

• Functional assessment and tracking of range of motion and tendon glide

• Lifestyle and mobility guidance to optimize healing

• Optional integration with Active Release Technique (ART) or red light therapy, depending on your specific needs

SoftWave Therapy continues working well after your last session, as stem cell activity and tissue regeneration remain elevated for weeks beyond the treatment period.
